I finally got to watch the entire show "Excuses Be Gone", with Wayne Dyer on PBS last night. He introduced someone that literally blew me away. I could go on and on about him but I would rather give you the link so you can check him out for yourself.http://www.myspace.com/dancaro

I have been interested in politics since I turned 30... participated and helped organize some protests... volunteered for presidential campaigns. But this past year I have been angry with the way things are going. (I know we manifested the government we have) but there has been one man I always stopped to watch... Senator Robert Byrd. I was fascinated by him when I watched a biography of his life a few years ago. He is (in my opinion) one of the few willing to stand up to the b*#st being thrown around our political offices... I don't know if it is his age 92 that made him speak his mind or what. He also turned his life around and apologized for some choices he made when he was young, which made me respect him even more. He really took his public office oath to heart and I believe lived from his heart. I am sad he has crossed over... not because of the votes he cannot participate in but because he was a great role model.

I know its all about manifesting the world we want but I also believe action is also required. I want to have the courage like Senator Byrd to speak up against injustices and morally corrupt behavior when I see it. I also want to attract like minded people into my life. I will miss watching him rant and rave on the Senate floor...

I got a call yesterday to work a card party (I am grateful!). I mentioned before that I got work a couple of days ago doing the samething. I learned how to deal Blackjack to make extra money at local parties. Anyway, last night a new company gave me a call to fill in last minute for a party in Los Angeles. I get there 15 minutes early and discovered it was a poker tournament. I do not know how to play poker... which could be a problem since I am supposed to be a professional dealer. Looking back I probably was told it was a poker tournament but because I was so excited to get work I heard blackjack tournament. I got a 5 minute lesson on how to deal poker. I was nervous and I decided to confess to the players at my table that I was a newbie to the game and they were good sports about it. They basically walked me through it. I was going to leave but I am glad I didn't... I chose to laugh at the pickle I was in, afterall I did manifest this situation. I found out later from the owner of the party company that the customer was upset (he did not tell me that though at the party) and the owner had to refund part of the money. The owner went on to tell me that he thought the customer probably wanted a discount anyway and me being a non poker playing dealer helped his case. The owner new this because when he was younger he was always tryng to pull a fast one on people to get a discount for things. Sounds to me like his karma getting back at him, but I was smart enough not to tell him that. ha!ha!

My affirmations have been for a fun job that pays well... maybe I should throw in... that I am qualified to do!

Live and learn!Hope your week is fun and don't forget to laugh out loud!xo Inge

John brought this story home from work the other day and I thought I would share it with you. He works at a Doggie Resort... what a lucky dog!

Hope your weekend is fun. Don't forget to live in the moment and bark out loud!xo Inge

"From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "that's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog."

Some of my proudest moments have come about with"just a dog." Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted.

Some of my saddest moments have been brought aboutby "just a dog," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfortand reason to overcome the day.

If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably won't understand phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."

"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence offriendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy.

"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patiencethat makes me a better person.

Because of "just a dog", I will rise early, takelong walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day. I hope that someday they can understand that it'snot "just a dog", but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a man or woman."So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog",just smile -- because they "just don't understand."

About Me

I started this blog because I love making artsy stuff. Mosaics, collage and mixed media are my thing. I also love to snoop for vintage stuff. In December 2010 my hobbies came to a screeching halt when I was diagnosed with cancer. Most of 2011 was a bust, but I am back -100% cancer free. That ordeal changed my life and it changed my blogposts too. I will still blog about my hobbies, but I will include information about healthy eating and my lifestyle change. I am vegan so I will post lots of recipes, links, and anything I think will help me live a healthy life - body/mind/soul. Making art and snooping for vintage goodies will remain part of my journey and posts...only now my blog's got a new twist.
